1995 Regal Trophy Final.

Wigan v Warrington - Saturday 28th Jan 1995

McAlpine Stadium, Huddersfield....(newly built, only three stands constructed).

Wigan demolished Wire 40-10.
From where we were sat we could see there was quite a bit of trouble in the mixed stand behind the sticks.

I remember the snowball fights with the Wire fans well

Slightly O/T, but we were sorting out some of my dad's old stuff a few months ago and came across a photo from the 58/59 Wembley final. My dad pictured with a few friends in the seats quite low down underneath the Royal Box. It was a very good quality photograph - the type that might have been in the Wigan Observer/Lancashire Evening Post and a copy had been obtained from the paper.

What was striking was the lack of women and children in a photo with over 100 fans in it - only one woman ( bet she was popular!) and absolutely no children. ( I was either not born or 9 months old depending on if it was 58 or 59!). The other interesting aspect was the dress code. Almost all wearing a suit and tie ( some with a cardigan/sweater underneath the jacket) together with a large rosette on the lapel of the jacket, and quite a few wearing caps. Not a replica shirt in sight!

That's tear jerker Matty.
Probably the last away game my dad and I went to together.

I know what you mean Brian, I gathered these photo's not that long after my dad passed away aged 60, every single one of these on this thread I was stood with him while he took the shots.......putting these on gives me happy memories tinged with sadness.

Images need to be hosted within an external website (rather than simply attaching from your documents on your pc). I upload my photos onto Photobucket, then when uploaded click 'save link' and then post on here.

To attach images on here, paste the URL, highlight then click the 'Img' button in the menu.

Thanks MattyB! Think I get it.
Here goes...
Think it was one of the sevens tournaments pre-season. The boy and girl sat on the wall between Edwards and Waney is me and my sis!

Gotta love Martin Dermott's 80's 'George Michael' hairstyle.

So does Martin Offiah!

I'm in the opposite stand in those pics, a few sections further in.

Shaun Edwards really isn't impressed with something there!
